ps5 combat can be clunky to switch different skill presets
anyone else having server connection issues on ps4 </3
Depends on how much you like playing with a monitor
i’d probably prefer it tbh
Pretty sure controller combat is considered super viable
controller is not clunky
its okay but feels a little clunky for me
Yeah... one sec
yeah i would like to play samurai from level 50, rather than 70, but from what ive read i need lvl50 to unlock samurai, so i was wondering if i boost any char to 70 i would then unlock samurai, but im not quite sure if i need character before to start samurai, or can i just create samurai after already having one char boosted past 50, if that makes sense
controller support is excellent and completely viable in all content
Does anyone know if you can migrate from PS4 Free Trail to PC after buying only PC version of the game?
maybe im not doing it right? just feels tedious to have to hold r1 and switch
You can boost another job to 70 and then pick up samurai unlock quest which would start it at level 50
u can enable wxmb
especially with i have to switch back immediately because i switched for a single skill
yeah you're not doing it right
Ouch, no one knows
Just do the msq until you become lvl 50
whch extends the hotbar so u dont have 2 switch
use expanded hold controls
yes, you can go from ps4 trial to pc full game
wxhb is more for non combat buttons
Ayyy thanks!
i’ll try that right now and see if i like it
i might prefer playing ff14 on pc though, not sure
But yeah, play around with controller a bit more
It seems like you might be confusing having separate jobs with having separate characters btw
oh i use wxhb for combat
ooh there isnt character levels? just like job levels?, so if i boost any character to 70, i can then just swap it to samurai and it would start at 50?
I know a lot of end game raiders who play on PC but prefer to play on Controller
yes correct
Personally I do not know how to play the game on controller tho lol
I play mouse and keyboard
so to do start at 50, i dont wanna boost 70 samurai, i wanna boost 70 any other job, then swap it to samurai, think monk to 70 would make sense then
you can't boost and start at 50, that's just not possible
They’re saying “boost monk so they can unlock SAM”
ohhh ok
yes sir
I c
i wanna play from 50-70 sam, rather than just have 70 sam
so id guess boosting 70 monk, then go swap it to sam, would let me play from 50 ->
yes
only for that one character
progress on one character doesn't unlock anything on a separate character
most people only play one character.
so the whole concept of crafting revolves around using only HQ versions of the recipe's materials ?
no
no? and what's the use of HQ materials then
so i got an invitation for a bonding ceremony, when its time do i just click the invintation?
HQ mats help make getting HQ easier
once you have enough stats tho, you don't need HQ mats
you go to the cathedral and talk to the person in front
if you have HQ mats, you have a more starting quality
where is that?
oh wait wrong chat mb
meaning you have to put in less quality ultimately to HQ the item you're trying to craft
so it makes it easier to get HQ
but once you're geared enough, often don't need HQ mats because your stats are high enough that the starting boost is irrelevant
east shroud
What is this quest?
the Sanctum of the Twelve

for instance, me making lv 78 coffee biscuits at well geared lv80 cul. I don't need any HQ materials because my stats are high enough i can easily craft the biscuits HQ
so essentially as your gear gets better you barely or you dont even use HQ mats ?
oh ok, tysm
I think it's the Skysteel Tools relic questline?
starting quest for the shb dol/doh relic
oh i see
Also to note, as a lv 80 CUL using lv 70 Handking gear, I can also guarantee HQ with macro and NQ mats
Macros can’t click the items you want to gather
that'd make sense yeah
this is also all kind of moot because base mats are no longer going to be able to be HQ
It's also pretty fun crafting your own macro on team craft
Play around, see if your macro can guarantee HQ
?
High quality for gathered items is being removed with endwalker
it'll only be normal quality
One 6.0 hits, there should be a pretty easy to get lv 80 white script set right?
Like, almost lv 80 max ilv white script set
It's the end of ShB now and I'm still using Handking set...
o!
since white scrips are being shuffled down into yellow scrips' post, you'll be able to convert the yellows you have currently
Yeah
so should give you a bit of a step up on getting the white scrip set
I feel like I’m gonna wait till 6.0 then grab the lv 80 set
but realistically its not that hard to get the white scrip set, just slightly more time consuming
I just kinda feel like I should should upgrade my Handking....
But I haven’t even got all my crafters to lv 80
very beginner question: if i buy endwalker on steam now is shadowbringers included in it? i see they sell both separately on steam
yes, endwalker includes shadowbringers
You wouldn’t be able to play SB or SHB until December if you just buy EW
Kind of late, but it's the big church way on the top side of the map past the Bramble Patch.
@boreal storm if I will start today do I need shadowbringers before dec 7? or I can wait 3 weeks while leveling anyway?
To get augmented exarchic gear I need to turn in HQ items to get an item to exchange?
doesn't have to be the HQ version, but HQ is ideal because its a 1:1 trade for the certificates. so if you turn in a HQ glove, you'll get enough certificates to buy the augmented glove
so even more money going to buying exarchic gear

is there a piece that's most efficient?
So just trade the HQ I already own, and only need the other item
ye you'd just need the rain
Is there any form of a movie/videos of a full story so far? I finished MSQ and everything but did not follow the story so I want to go back to it. The thing is I won't make it until EW, I am really tight on time and I don't have ~200 hours to spend on a story alone... So is there any form of it for me to watch on any platform which could give me at least half an experience that the story is?
The cutscene journal in the inn
We have text recaps pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers
Mind to explain?
for videos...Ethys Asher started doing an "ARR abridged" recap series but it stopped so eh
In the inn room you can rewatch cutscenes from completed quests in the book "The Unending Journey"
would be a slow way to catch up though and would miss non-cutscene dialogues and context
I'd recommend the text recaps
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
going back onto the augmented gear thing
from roulettes how many allegory tomestones could I get?
if I did them daily ect, how long would it take to get a full set
I see, how long would it take to watch all the cutscenes compared to reading? And what would you do per se?
But it'd also cut me many details,no?
most efficient way to grind crystal sand for heavensward relic these days? at level 80 ofc
scrips, or leves
or if you have money, market board for the materia
yea I was thinking the materia would be the fastest but I don't have nearly enough money.
Scrips and Leves seem like they would both be massively inefficient tbh?
especially since I don't have DoH/DoL levelled
is there a list for what job gets what materia?
or is it just generally crit>whatever
sks/sps to preferred tier > crit > det/dh usually
there's some room for nuance depending on the job but that's how most do it
you can do battle leves for amber
sks??
uhh should I be at a certain number on speed
bc all my stuff is currently crit>deter
you start the leve, look for the amber chest, and then abandon it after collecting it (or failing to find it)
and repeat
some jobs don't want any
yeah for a full 2.5s gcd
@pallid vapor just went and killed a b rank w/o having a bill for it and got credit so make sure what you're killing is a B rank mob
2.46 GCD sets are an option for progression but they're not as optimal.
all materia is crit>det, should be fine?
are you level 80 tendou
for dragoon, skill speed isn't important
yeah
you can get away even with higher amounts of skill speed
it doesn't impact it as much as other jobs
yes, DRG should meld crit > DH/det
this isn't true 
DRG prefers a slow GCD for rotational reasons.
saying bc all my sks comes from gear
mmm maybe I'll look more into later
since I got orbonne monastery in my alliance roulette

I literally just said that
you want lower skill speed overall, but you can get away with higher amounts
getting away with it won't make you bad all of a suddenj
Phrasing that as "skill speed isn't important" is misleading
especially with dragoon
If I want to do stormblood crafting quests, do I buy gear from vendors and meld materia in them?
i'm looking at the endwalker NIN tooltips now that i've leveled the job a bit and i'm a bit confused by this one - if this exists, why does the mudra version of huton also exist?
For when you die
Or huton drops in downtime and your ninjutsu won't come off cd before the boss comes back
wouldn't activating huton with mudras instead of this mean sacrificing a very high potency attack?
It let's you get huton back up while maintaining 2 charges
Using huton over the new skill means you lose a Raiton
Vs whatever gcd needs to be lost
So I finally just finished grinding out Stormblood today but I don’t know if I should power through Shadowbringer or just buy a skip and enjoy other games until Endwalker comes out. Thoughts?
that seems like a big deal, losing raiton, since it's now a 1-2-3 of 650-400-450 potency
You can't buy a shb skip
I would recommend just playing through shb, even if it is a grind for you
Yet
bruhh i just finished stormblood and i'm losing the will to live
You need to play ShB skips only exist until Stormblood atm
how long did it take you to grind to the start of shadowbringers
from end of stormblood msq
the shb skip will be at "full" price because it will include the ARR, HW and SB skips
Like 2 solid days of playtime without skipping anything
oh noo
imho wasted money to skip just shb at this point
Also ShB is pretty neat I'd also recommend just playing through it and take you time while playing other stuff when you feel like it
so the goal is to be ready for Endwalker
if youre doing 10-12 hours of msq a day you can still walk and have time before ew
OH
should i unlock stormblood alliance raid or omega raid first
Define ready
I am def not playing that much every day going forward lol
becaause there are multiple definitions
Just caught up in MSQ
@faint flare i see it now, mudra huton gives 60s right away, and the skill huton only gives 30
you can still walk like 3-5 hours of msq a day and will be fine b4 EW
have u seen any spoilers for shadowbringers
wait no
Dont really care about clearing all the raids and stuff. Im a new player so i just want to be caught up so i can care about current content
it also gives 60
surprisingly i haven't anywhere
I havent no
How do I do this thing?
If you don't care about the raids nor about the story then there isn't much content left tbh
to farm white scrips u need to be lvl 80? or have max sastisfaction ?
wait
I tried posing and targeting the mascot and posing
especially with 6.0 being almost exclusively story
they will tell you what to do
Feels like it didn't work
you can start reacting about halfway through the timer
You’re pressing the red buttons right
You have basically 3 weeks to get 80 and beat msq its doable trust. the post ShB quests are like 5 quests per patch or something around there
You target the correct mascot and do the correct pose
which ones
Not emoting
Im SUPER i to the story, i just dont know if i want to grind super hard just to finish
then just take it slow, no rush
oh
You don't need to finish the story before endwalker
I was just emoting
skipping would just ruin the story
Technically the ShB raid has something soft story related but its not much
Im already 74 after clearing Stormblood. A whole xpac in 3 weeks seems hard lol
are any of the jobs skippable to 80 without missing much
it's definitely doable in 3 weeks
ShB Is not a long story
Oh
even at a somewhat casual pace
i'm tempted to boost a marauder just because i want a tank
No 80 skips until EW
5.0 is good story anyways. You'll get hooked for sure and more likely continue if youre story oriented
gatherer
now that's just funny. i finished the entirety of MSQ in like 29 days
Im a mythic wow refuge so i was just looking to be caught up for xpac launch, find a static, and start raiding when all that stuff cones out
But the story is fantastic
you have like a month after endwalker launch for savage raiding
Oh nice
You literally have until Jan 4tb
Also fête is just Fate with a weird name right?
Before savage
Like, events
Your weekly turn ins are good for whites. there are also specific items you can gather for the whites. Check the people in Mor Dhona, Eulmore etc
So plenty of time gotcha
What do I get from fêtes?
Even if you're not there day 1
Broadly speaking it's not recommended to boost jobs, period. As the levelling is where you learn to actually play your job
There will still be plenty of statics recruiting
true^
Ty everyone 🙂 now just deciding if I should stick with my monk. Literally only job ive done so far lol
it's a FATE for crafter/gatherers that gives tokens and lootboxes for unique stuff
You have time for a static and most times youre gonna use PF to find one directly unless you join a discord
Well fête is a real word
I see, nice
This is a mixed bag
And describes what they are
when i turn in custom deliveries i get yellows instead of whites. is it because im not 80 ?
But yeah they’re little events and reward little loot box things
You get whites instead of exp
On boosts
yes, you need to be 80 to get white scrips from custom deliveries
oh ok that is the reason then. ty
I believe so. I cant remember bc all my gatherers are 80
Leveling doesn’t really force you to learn your job to a high level of competency. Ultimately that’s a result of how much effort put into doing your homework.
this
Forreal
Skipping doesn’t make you bad, not skipping doesn’t make you good.
my chocobo is level 10, and i have a thav onion? how do i increase the level cap
But not skipping will help you learn a job
Reading guides and practice are way more important. Also just understanding core mmo mechanics
Use it
there are people who skipped and are miles above people who didn't skip
Just use the thav onion while the choco is summoned
Right click use
okay i dont need to stable it or anything
Nah
If you boost you are legit given an in screen warning to learn your job. At the same time I get forced into instances where people dont use their AOE buttons. Lvling =/= job learning
Many examples to the contrary
nice ty guys!
I'm not saying it applies to everyone but broadly speaking, more time spent playing a job will help you play it better
A tiny bit of homework will help more though
About 60% of questions here are answered directly in those pop ups
You could play lvl 1-80 lancer
And probably not know about the life delay

or BRD and not know that you need to wait before applying sidewinder to ensure the actual potency is delivered on both dots
that is almost always true. unless the player has like <80 IQ or something lol
oops wrong reply
How do i rejoin the novice network? I miss a global chat always going on 😦
if you've lost new player status, you can't until you become a mentor
And how does one become a mentor 
go to the hall of the novice and "apply for mentorship"
it will tell you what you need
Strictly speaking novice network wasn't/isnt a global chat
There is no global chat in ff14
Battle mentor requirements:
・Complete 1,000 dungeons, raids, or trials.
・Receive 1,500 player commendations.
・Complete any level 80 tank role quest.
・Complete any level 80 healer role quest.
・Complete any level 80 melee DPS or ranged DPS role quest.
Trade mentor requirements:
・Gather or catch 300 collectibles. ・Craft 100 collectibles. ・Reach level 80 in any Disciple of the Hand. ・Reach level 80 in any Disciple of the Land.
You could always join a free company for a more social chat, but outside that there's just crossword linkshells which are another thing entirely
In practice NovNet is a global chat.
Trade mentor is the easiest to get if you just want to get back into the chat.
Yeah its def just global chat honestly
can literally get it in two weeks
i can't see how much game time is left in game and on mogstation
idk when to cancel
or how long is left
It doesn't show if you're Recurring
You could check when your last payment was and 30 days after that
where on the map does a bonding ceremony take place? this is my first one and its in 10 minutes
East shroud, cathedral in the north
you need to make you way to the sanctum of the twelve, east shroud\
ok
how do you get landsaint's set? is it a relic ?
White scrips.
not too hard to get.
cuz on the page im reading it's the highest ilvl
It's not BiS.
BiS is pentamelded aesthete gear
10 ilvls below but the materia make up for that.
oh aethete is actually better ?
However that's expensive and definitely not worth getting when we're currently 3 weeks out from a new expansion
If pentamelded
So go for the landsaint stuff
that's the "welfare" option and is totally sufficient for most purposes
And there’s no point in doing that 3 weeks before EW
i will, im close to lvl 80
and for what isnt it sufficient
Hello, where is a good place to find people to help running EX content that is not PF? I'm trying to get EX Emerald/Diamond clears for their totems, since the last Triple Triad Card requires it and I'm not exactly an EX level player. And all the PF groups require "Duty Complete". I'm not asking to be carried, I'm just looking for a good group.
nothing honestly
pf
then why say most xd
Aesthete just makes it even easier
gatherer BiS just gives you better collectible yield basically
As long as you have hq mats its easy
you have to carry your weight in extremes
Did you read my post?
Make your own pf for prog then
oh i see so that translates to...less tries to get the items for deliveries ?
So you make your own PF and make it a learning/prog party.
No, just getting more per node quicker
but you need like 3+3 items only
Lad a minute hadn't even passed
collectibles aren't just custom deliveries
oh
He responded with 2 things I had specifically posted in my message
where else are they used ?
making me think he didnt read the whole thing
at the collectible appraiser for scrips
If I get the culinarian dismantle skill, and dismantle my fish, is that likely to increase or decrease total inventory space?
that's the normal use
oh i see
custom deliveries are a weekly extra.
thats cool nice
are all collectibles based on ET?
Unspoiled nodes are
yes
yikes
timed nodes, ephemerals, and legendaries are all based on ET
Not all collectables are from those tho
there are some non timed node collectables
there's a nonstop cycle you can do of timed nodes if you have both min and btn
Although those that aren't are the worst
but those don't give as good scrip
node x is up, you gather there, then node y is up right after, you gather there
There's also viera ears if you're willing to spend ages in raktika
and there's like a node every hour in ET.
once you're max lvl you have enough nodes to make a good route with time nodes
so unless you really dislike doing time nodes, there's generally no reason to do non time node collectables
i have only miner :x
im looking for the fastest way to get white scrips for good gear
and are all those nodes turnable in the appraisers? is there a resource that states the correct order i should be doing those ?
teamcraft and garlandtools have timed node trackers
all rarefied collectibles are for turning in at the appraisers
dont personally attack me
Xivclock is good
yeah i did catch something but what i meant is a table that shows the whole cycle that helps you start at the node you should start based on current ET.
is that it?
is deep dungeon better than highest lvl dungeon for levelling?
It gives you the closest tp but not a direct routing on the map
you can make your own table on garland bell
Only if your queue is slow for dungeons
with browser notifications and maps
Assuming equal speed, dungeons are better
you can start the cycle at any point
And deep dungeon is useless past 70
alright ill look on those tommorow
Don't forget that
you just go to the node that's currently up at the current time
and mine there
and then go to the next one.
yeah but i meant to know where to start based on the current ET
Tracking which comes when is what the node trackers are for
yes the sites I said have that
an example of a white scrips setup i used when i was farming for them
ok thats good then
can we adjust the transparency of "tattoo" items in the aesthethician?
they show what's up and what all the timers are
no
yikes
the timeline at the top moves and the browser goes DING when it's time to go
aesthetician can't change items
It’s a tattoo, they’re kinda meant to be opaque
you can change the colour of your face tattoos
if you have them on your character
but those aren't related to any item equipment.
yeah I mean tattoo thigies
the ones you can pick at the aesthethician
I know you can change color and pattern
yes that's it
but dunno if theres a way to make them slightly transparent
Am I missing a lot if I skip cutscenes for ARR
is there a guide to what how many materia of smth I should put in gear
most of the expansions' story is set up in ARR
you won't know it when you play it, but when you look back at it you'll say 'oh yeah, wow they set that up half a decade ago!'
Lol ok it’s just kinda boring but I guess I have to push through
Balance has BiS sets and meld priorities. In general for almost every job though it's SkS/SpS to optimal GCD tier and then Crit > DH/Det
bis?
Best in slot
ok miner lvl 80 B|
do I need to like
tiem 2 go to schleep
level crafting stuff
Best is slot is pretty much always a mix of raid and tome gear
Leveling crafters is optional
You dont NEED crafters but having them levelled for free melding and better repairing is always useful
basically for ShB you need to beat some savage raid to get rly good lvl 80 items and then farm revelations @visual sandal
so I can just completely ignore crafting
Dragoon and dancer broadly speaking don't take skill speed
well I haven't started an extreme/savage yet
im looking to get into it but I'm more concerned with current gear ect
Don’t say that
For dragoon specifically, too much skill speed will cause clipping with the longer animations of all your jumps
Until you're doing savage content it's pretty much item level >> EVERYTHING ELSE
if you got da powda buy full exarchic set
Then do that first
personally i would suggest beating all extremes before you g oto savage but that's just me

You can probably mix in some gear from the tower cuz that's 520
As is unaugmented Cryptlurker geae
tower?
uhh
ive got like one cryptlurker item
Last raid of the SHB 24-man duties
3rd nier raid
what do I do with armour or weapons that I'm not allowed to sell?
still on first nier raid
If you don’t want it for the looks, then either keep if another class can use it or discard.
is there another way to store things apart from my inventory?
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
If you are a trial player, you mainly just have your chocobo saddlebag and technically the glamour dresser
(And also your Armoury)
510 is plenty for nier and dps actually have good queue times from those raids, so consider progressing those. Without savage raids you need drops from nier raids to upgrade Cryptlurker gear anyways
ul'dahn
so I might as well farm those for gear
are there any addons that can change the look of the ui?
yeah
!faq quicklauncher
then a minimum of like ~520 ilvl would be good for savage raids?
FFXIV TexTools
o ok
quicklauncher lets you easily install plugins
There's DelvUI, which is like ElvUI from WoW
MaterialUI is a graphical mod which changes how it looks, not acts
materialui isn't a mod
Yes it is
it's simply profiles for textools
it's what i use
Where is the inn?
which city
Limsa
Thx
since teleport costs are going up in EW, i shuffled my stuff around. so my return is doman enclave, my favored are foundation, crystarium, and gridania, then maelstrom return tickets + free aetheryte tickets, is that smart for endwalker, yall think? enclave for return since I can end a play session there with vendoring all my crap and all? what coverage am I missing? Gyr Abania is near to Ishgard so in theory Foundation covers that?
If you don't mind loading screens, then that sounds fine
and then my bonus freebie from the token i can put wherever the new hub is (limsa for right now)
i mean, more for like 'if the teleport fees are abysmal i can get close to where i need to then walk/etc after' ?
If I don't really want to farm BiS anymore, and just want to do some casual Savage stuff for fun
The difference between BiS and ilv 530 gear is really tiny now right?
Especially if it's just echo runs without seriously parsing
Does anyone remember where the Ocular portal puts in Mor Dhona if we use it? I can't log in rn
I just feel like I really don't want to go though farming Revelation, then finding ways to upgrade Revlation gear anymore...
Yes, unless your job needs very specific sks/sps tiers and you cba for the relic.
Yeah, really don’t have the energy to farm relic to raid anymore
Syrcus trench
^
Ty!
Just gonna see how many ilv 530 gear sets I can complete before EW
where can I get the lvl70 scaevan gear in sb?
Rhalgars or kugane sundry splendors
where can i find them in those areas?
Rhalgars is in the buildings near the aetheryte, Enna and the other girl the right.. Kugane by the aetheryte, usual blue bag marker
Right by the aetherytes in both cases
found her ty
can i only have either delvui or materialui?
Whats the best way to farm for Moogle Treasure Trove ?
spam coils 2 with blu
||Ehll Tou|| never appeared in the story before until the Firmnant questline right?
yes
Ayy
She's p cool ngl
both
materialui changes default ui textures, and delvui i think is more of an addition to the ui
how come I can put like, solstice (ast relic for shb) into the glam dresser but can't put like, bravura in there or mimesis?
Custom stats
forreal? bc I didn't customize the stats on bravura yet i JUST got to the step after turning in atmas.
cuz i assumed it was that until the bravura also wouldn't go in
That or ARR relics are just funky sometimes
only ShB early step relics can be put in the dresser
past relics are just banned overall due to the custom stat steps being a thing
so they just blanket banned relics
then in ShB they allowed them to be stored for steps up until they gain custom stats.
Can I not buy entry until my free days run out? That’s weird
What's a good thing to use company seals on to make gil

If you're collecting bitter memories, you have to do the dungeons sync'd right? I tried doing undersized and wasn't getting any
Yes
Game even explicitly states it when taking the quest
You cant unsync any shadowbringers steps
When you’re doing hunts for marks, does it mean to go in the direction of your character or the direction of the map?
Like if it says “you sense your mark to blah blah”
oh I couldn't find a note about it in quest log, maybe I just didn't see. Ty!
!faq poetics

Any way to macro hide my job gauge.
I'm trying to make an Immersion macro, but I can't seem to figure out the command to hide my job gauge or the chat.
/hud "faerie gauge" off
/hud "aetherflow gauge" off
/hud "chat" off
Don't work
It's the /shush emote and yeah, you get it very late in the story
Cause it's extremely fucking important
so if i finished msq i have it? aight ty
yeah, right through to the end of Shadowbringers
What are the required steps for your second relic weapon?
You skip the haunting/vexing step and the 180 Zadnor item steps for Shadowbringers relics
You redo everything else
How does that practically play out? Do I just not pick up those quests?
you only need to complete them once, and then the quest giver will never give you them again
Ahh ok so I just need to redo all the repeatable quests.
those steps create the "machines" so to speak to create your relic, and since the machine is created, they just skip the machine creation step and immediately has you go into procuring the materials for the next step
Sorry haven’t played in a while figured I would get another relic before xpac
Ok thank you!
why my server died
Which?
How do I get back to ||Malikah’s well||, the gatekeep mentioned a talos
Gatekeeper in Twine
I see it now, a yellow quest was covering it on my map
What should I do immediately after finishing ARR
well, ya don't need to do anything but continue on with the story
what does the purple color on an enemys target mean
It's claimed by someone else, aka.they hit it fight
If you help you get partial credit
@tall mountain I mean yea but is anything recommended?
if you're hunting for stuff to do, check every city for the blue side quests 
they unlock stuff
whether duties, mechanics...
Should I do relics?
depends on how badly you want a shiny weapon model
as actual weapons you'll replace them about 5 minutes after starting heavensward
and they're giant grinds
Sounds kinda pointless i might go back to it in the future but right now I guess no point in doing
yeah, it'll be easier to go back and do later for sure
even if you do one now, it'll only be useful for its appearance
Are the relics for the base game good looking?
Tru
Depends what job you are
but yes
There's a few videos/screenshots of them out there
so i would recommend looking at them yourself and deciding if they're worth the effort
like personally think nirvana and yoichi bow (whm and brd respectively) are very good but i also wouldn't recommend anyone doing the ARR relic, especially not as free trial
I see
they look good but do them later
If you're on trial
Ight thx
Soloing Thornmarch extreme on lvl80 i still need to worry about Memento Moogle?, As a dps. Or i can just eat it up?
burn through it

Anyone have any advice on catching the Second One? x.x
So if I level a summoner to level80 let's say, I also can switch to a free level80 scholar anytime?
Ha? how come i can use reprisal at lvl 20 sync
How is the current state of ffxiv? are there stuff to do like MP or is it just timesink until new expansion comes
nothing until the EW release
yes, but you still need to do SCH job quests
And have SCH gear
except im not sure why you would level summoner first
instead of sch
given you get healer queues with SCH
So i just get to level 64 on pld and got holy spirit, i heard this skill is used with requiescat but i still dont have it since it is lv 68 skill so when do i use holy spirit without req?
just pre pull
Eh. is there someone here who could help me with a problem related to my HUD configurations/layout? Have searched on Google and YouTube, but haven't really found what I was looking for. :v
KBM or Pad?
KBM.
ah, hopefully you find someone then

though I can attempt to help you if it's generic enough
what are you looking to do
Welp, I hope so too. 
any suggestions for GC seal dump? >_<
I am trying to start "A bad bladder" and I have the MSQ done so I'm not sure why it isn't showing up, I'm at scarlet right now https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/A_Bad_Bladder
Did you check in case you had already done it?
I did a search and nothing came up but I might have searched wrong ( I did try a good bit )
Hi, I submitted an application to an FC that was advertised but I didn't put in my discord IGN in the application as a way to contact. Is there a way to contact the person who put up the advertisement so I can contact themabout it? I tried looking for them in the server but nothing came up using the username the advertisement provided. looked like "Submitted By ------" I did put my FFXIV name in the application though
I just searched it on my character and it didn't show up
which means it's clearly not a very good indicator lol
I'd manually look it up
i tried that but didn't see it, what section would it be in? sidequests-> ????
the search in the journal is case sensitive
Ew
^
is there a way to have it so desynth doesn't always ask me to confirm this window?
is there an easy way to find out how far i am in this series?
In main quests?
Yeah, check rep or look at the journal in the beast tribe section
You'll see your completed Ixal quests
Ah in beast tribe
oof, i just had the one done lol
Hello! For the tank achievements, do trials (not from the trials roulette) count towards them like normal raids?
ninja on high ping is legit unplayable wtf?
jp players instacasting mudra whereas it takes me 2 seconds
and even when it does cast it does the fuma shuriken animation first before realising that i actually used katon
what's your ping? yeah, i reckon above 200 and mudra will start ghosting
Most jobs are affected too
Every job on high ping will start to feel lackluster
But more noticeable with ninja
NIN is affected the most because of how the input buffer works
As you have pointed out with the Ninjutsu
Is this a rare monster?
If you press twice 90% of the time the mudra will go twice
Yes but it is just a B rank
Mashing is not a good idea because of the input buffer
Will it give me special rewards if I get someone else to help kill it?
So you don't get rewards unless you have a weekly hunt bill for it
If it's your hunt bill yes
!faq checkping
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe

Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
It is not.
try this and what's your physical location?
Otherwise no unless you're going for specific achievements
I think there's a command explaining enemy aggro sign
since B ranks respawn 5 seconds after death
Red = aggro on sight/range/noise
Blue = passive
Rule of thumb, Blue is docile, everything else want to kill you
If I run a dungeon with Squadron, can it count toward an entry in the Tails book?
yes
it counts even undersized
yeah this is what happens
i'm pretty sure i was at 190ping last time i checked
That's because the buffer window is about a second
160 with mudfish
That's not a latency thing that's just a client thing
Don't mash your mudras
Regardless of your ping
if i put in the inputs too fast it would literally show a fuma shuriken flying towards enemy
Awesome
before casting katon
Will do some tonight
presumably the ten chi jin combos will be even more cancerous to cast
Yeah, the Mudra thing is just how Action Queue works
playing dnc i barely notice ping
guess i will just put nin in hibernation until oce data centre is released
The default queue time of 500 ms means that if you press something 500 ms before it can be activated, it is now locked in
Well mudra isn’t really ping related
If you like you can try out NoClippy
i can't because i play on mac
I see
Yeah it’s pretty good
i hate not being able to cast twice in gcd
As someone with barely any ping I still use it
on things like samurai
You get to do weird shit like double weave on 1.96s GCD
is dragoon pretty forgiving in terms of rotation if you can't weave?
i might try it out
If you can’t double weave yeah
If you can’t weave then no
DRG does a lot of single weaving
And the thing they weave is this weird animation move
Their jumps and Mirage Dive.
Mirage Dive is short Ani Lock right?
As well as their numerous buffs and Geirskogul/Nastrond.
Mirage Dive has almost no animation lock from my experience.
The animation locks are Jump/High Jump, Spineshatter Dive, Dragonfire Dive, and Stardiver.
Yeah
Low Jump is super hard
I think NoClippy often tells me my jump is clipping while single weave
Q: is it me, or does my Laurel Gooboo fly slower than my Black Chocobo? are pet speeds different?
Nah, their speed is the same.
All mount speed are the same
But since the mount is bigger, it feels like it's slower.
ok,..yeah,...my brain,.makes sense.. Thanks!
Believe me, I felt the same thing.
It's especially noticeable when you're on the ground and before you get your riding maps.
oh,..I thought that was the point,..lol
Flying is faster than 2* ground speed, so don't even bother farming the riding maps unless you're really bored.
oh,."Riding" maps,..for ground only
You get automatic 1* riding speed just for finishing MSQ in the zone.
Yes. They're something of an artifact of an earlier system.
I see,..ty
That system being pre-5.3 when you couldn't fly in ARR zones.
Spent 20 minutes fishing for the Second One and used like 40 giant crane flies.
Nothing...
Any advice would be appreciated. x.x
So I did a Stone Vigil run with new players to the dungeon and when pulling small sections at a time our White Mage kept running out of mana using Cure II and they were using Lucid Dreaming, does Healers running out of mana happen normally or is there a way Healers can help combat this at lower level dungeons?
What are you trying to fish again? I don't think I was here for that conversation.
it’s fishing … it’s like playing gacha ~ rng on layers of rng; if you’re doing all the right req and it doesnt bite then … bad luck
There's a serious RNG component to fishing.
The Second One... that's what it's called.
I know, I've caught over 10,000 fish
Well, is the weather right?
And 362 different kinds of fish.
It needs to be wind.
said person overhealed ~ spammed cure 2 on all party members no doubt
I'm following the timers.
yeah shits normal, only way to help really is for the tank to be more geared..
they should also consider cure 1, its not obsolete...yet
Stone Vigil is pretty rough on healers at-level and ilevel for that instance. It's one of the walls.
Checked, checked, and double check.
But I do see Reddit posts saying that this one apparently has a very low catch rate.
From what I can Google, yeah. He's awful.
ye ~ sounds like fishing
(Not a pro fisher by any means. You sound like you're much better than me.)
I was the tank with some 41 gear and some level 38 gear, does it really matter to have better gear?
Yes
Rule of thumb when you see your healer is struggling... pull smaller.
well rip levelling tanks up
everyones gear kinda matters lol, my astro had ilvl35 or something when i was lvling cuz reasons
that's what ended up happening with single pulls
good chance maybe their gear is shit too
If they're struggling on single pulls then it was probably because the healer's gear wasn't good enough.
Yeah.
Most likely hadn't upgraded their weapon for awhile.
another thing I was considering were the pulls taking so long because the dps were kinda not killing them fast enough
healers lvl up crazy fast . w.
i cant be arsed to update gear
the dragoon literally used limit break on single pulls when we had a summoner
Yeah, like I said. Stone Vigil is a "wall" dungeon. It spikes significantly from the previous dungeon in terms of enemy damage and HP.
i guess that would do it
So if everyone is in "doing this for the first time" gear, then yeah. You're likely going to have problems.
Or at least need to go slower than you'd otherwise expect.
As a healer main, I can tell you that certain pulls in there are stupidly hard to heal through, even with decent gear.
Like the ice sprites for some reason seem to ignore all damage mitigation.
dzmael darkhold has a hard one after the first boss
Nah. Dzemael isn't bad.
That's not actually that hard of a pull to heal.
that's where most of my darkhold wipes go
Unless someone gets yeeted off the edge.
Correct, you’ll need to be within 5 levels of them for them to get xp
You can heal them but that’s about it
can taxi them to NMs
I did all the quest in the Ixal area, is there another way to get 20 rep to unlock the next quest in the series
is the generic brown haired dude in every promotional material for ff14 supposed to be the warrior of light?
rip, this is the last day of my sub, i was just trying to grab some more triple triad cards and i needed to do this quest line for the next card in # order lol
Yes. He's the "Meteor Survivor" officially.
Aka Derplander
But everyone just calls him "Derplander"
Where’d he get that name from? 💀
Because that's literally what he is. He and his party being the stand-ins for the players in the PVs
They survived Project Meteor - aka the Fall of Dalamud.
Alright swag thanks
there has been no place offiically where he is called meteor survivor
the closest we have to an official name for him is Hiroshi, since that's what Yoshi-P called him on stream for one of the LL/fanfests

Can I buy DOH arm gear with Allagan Tomestone of Poetics?
is BA easier or harder than DR and DRS?
seems on par with DRS with all the planning?
Easier due to elemental gear being able to easily carry people
But you still need to not die
But just listen to call outs
have no elemental gears though; only the osode and the non plus pieces from pyros
so how low is the chance to get cassie's earring/the speed belt from the fates?
Very very
their prices on MB are justified
Would it be a good idea to buy an Osode in advance when doing Eureka?
Yes
Does anyone know what a piloted boost is?
what does htis mean
what should i be doing right now to actively make money as a crafter/gatherer?
leveling them all for endwalker too
I find grabbing stuff for fashion week and selling them on MB makes okay money, but effort
people are lazy and will even buy marked up dyes or vendor stuff
are there other ways to get gold chocobo feathers aside from being the recruiter in RAF?
hi havent played the game yet and want to give it a try. after installing the launcher, it ask me to give a one time password code?? idk what that is, can anybody help me? do i need to pay the 15$ so that i could do a free trial?
Leave it blank
oh thank you
buy scaevan with poetics in rhaglrs' reach or kugane
!faq eurekaanemos
anemos hasnt changed from release
thanks
its a bot trying to phish your account, just blacklist them @river bobcat
Will there be apartments in ishgard?
yes
You can also report em to the support desk and/or right click > rmt activity
Can you sell your existing apartments?
No, can just vacate them with no reimbursement
Also what’s the fastest way to level retainers to 50
Repeating their highest regular gathering venture is the fastest
And sending them on the 18h ventures when you log off for the day
quick ventures are better exp these days than the targeted 1hr ventures
👀
forget when they adjusted the exp for quick ventures
but its been standardized so its not based on what you bring back
My stupid AI team during Squadrons Vault is too slow for the last boss ugh
lv 79 specific 1h venture gives 3,765,000 vs quick venture which is 6,495,000 (lv80 retainer that is)
Anybody familiar with this error? Client crashes the first time I try to launch the game every time I start my computer. Second time I launch the game it works just fine.
Could you translate what it says?
Think we can expect a huge rush and price increase on crafting materials like the last couple expansions?
I'd imagine a ton of people are stockpiling, but who knows
Well yeah the people who are planning on selling are stockpiling.
prices always increase when a new patch happens ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It actually hasn't been as significant the last couple times
But expansions are a bit of a different ball game.
well, last signigicant patch for crafting was 5.3 with eden and many, 100m gillionaires were born
Unfortunately I can't translate it. I'll try and run it through google next time.
the byakko and hades’ weapons patch too, those mats went from 200k to 1.2m
can the reaper wear drg armour from older patches ? like the craftable bahaumet gear ?
or will it be able to i guess
ye, they share gears afaik
Most likely yes
“maiming”
cool
Personally I think I may have overstocked for someone who mostly makes his gil selling single items at jacked up prices.
Pretty sure I have close to 2,000 swallow leathers at this point and over 1,000 dwarven clothes.
Price is probably gonna dorp before I can clear them all out and will likely need to sell the rest in bulk because by then everyone will have moved on to knew materials and it won't be worth it :x
you never know for sure with anything
i think mythril(?) was introduced in HW and didnt gain superb value til some time in ShB
Meh, not really useful...might have to post on the forums.
so happy business-ing o/
the one time password is for 2FA, if you have it setup
what aetherpool level does potd floors 51-61 sync you to?
some generic windows dll error
if it’s just me for now, how hard is it to make a static ?
depends on your goals and how you promote teh group recruitment
making good use of all the recruitment avenues is key to getting hits
the subreddit, the various discords and their channels, community finder
etc

do cities/npcs sell gear/equip or only on the market board?
Vendors are everywhere
but do they sell higher lvl gear or only low lvl?
Is there a decent sellable material to spend allegories on?
@cursive ridge
Thanks again for the advise, et. all. Well underway to 80
Fish will come later and tied with CUL
ANYHOW; soonTM.
@warm snow advised before that CUL recipes are mostly fish.
Where can I get a set of right side gatherers accessories good for level 58 pre Stormblood?
Trying to finish all my mining quests and would love to boost my GP up to make the HQ quests easier.
You’ll have to craft them yourself or buy from the marketboard
The 51-59 accessories aren’t sold from any vendor AFAIK
Blergh. What about 60? I assume that's in a Stormblood area tho
where are the notes from the last live letter that showed the savage dates ? im trying to figure out what day savage will come out

If i press "use" fantasia does that count as consumed? Or is it after i confirmed changes to character?
Confirm change
